Artist Biography
Reggae singer George Faith was heavily influenced by the R&B performers of his teens, including Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke. He recorded his solo debut "Little Miss Mmm" at the age of 16, but his career faltered until he teamed up with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry in the mid-1970s. In 1977, he recorded "To Be A Lover," a nine-and-a-half-minute opus greeted with international approval. Other significant releases included cover versions of "In The Midnight Hour" and "I’ve Got The Groove," as well as his own composition "Opportunity." In 1978, the singer began recording with Alvin ‘GG’ Ranglin at Channel One Studios under the name Earl George. Although he was never able to repeat the success of his Perry sessions, the singer maintained a respectable profile in Jamaica into the late-'90s.
